Back on the Buzz train this month. Missed out on Trash Kit and Mort Garson albums but picked up the debut from BABii. Full review below, decided to repost here as I couldn't crowbar the last line into the magazine review...
BABii
HiiDE (Deathwaltz Originals)
***
HiiDE is the debut album of icy holographic electro pop from Margate’s BABii. And it kind of falls between two stools. Compared to the precision tooled synth pop of your Sigrids and your Robyns of this world, its lacking the killer hooks that worm their way into your head.
On the flipside it doesn’t quite have the sonic inventiveness of your Grimes and your FKA Twigs. What you’re left with is a pretty, sugary sweet, well-made pop album (dub don Adrian Sherwood produces here) that’s just unsure where to sit.
The “ii”s don’t have it. SE
